PET/CT for distinguishing non-small cell lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 80 years old
- You have a solid lung nodule that is 8 mm or larger and it's suspected to be non-small cell lung cancer
- You are willing to have a PET/CT scan and then either surgery or a biopsy to check the nodule
- You (or your family member) agree to join the study and sign a consent form
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have a known allergy to certain antibody products called humanized monoclonal antibodies

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
This trial uses a new kind of PET/CT scan to take detailed pictures of solid tumors such as melanoma, liver, lung, breast, pancreatic, or ovarian cancer. The scan might help doctors find cancer more clearly.
This trial tests a new type of imaging scan that uses a special tracer to help doctors see solid tumors more clearly. The scan may help improve how tumors are detected and monitored during treatment.
This study tests a new way to detect tumors by using a special injection that makes cancer cells visible on a PET scan. It may help people with renal cancer (especially clear cell type), lymphoma, or nasopharyngeal cancer.
This study tests a new PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (TROP-2) to take pictures of solid tumors, like colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors find and diagnose cancer more accurately.
